Now available online: All the essays in Lilavati's Daughters

This time, it's *not* a false alert. I have checked it myself. This page has the links to all the essays; each link first takes you to a short profile of the scientist's career, and clicking on the title gives you access to her essay -- in pdf.

Abi,Thanks for the link. It allowed me to catch up on the careers of some I knew and several I did not. Perhaps V. Lakshmibai should have been there too. After several years as a house wife, she fet the urge to do mathematics again, joined TIFR, worked with C.S. Seshadri and by all accounts is an excellent mathematician.
